JAKARTA - Head of Jakarta Satpol PP, Arifin, said that his staff have not implemented the enforcement of sanctions for people or business actors who violate the rules of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).

Because, currently the standard operating procedure (SOP) for prosecution and enforcement of sanctions in the field. In addition, now the Satpol PP ranks are still reprimanding while socializing the sanctions that will be applied.

"Today I ask to be disseminated to the public first, so that the citizens of Jakarta will know that now there are provisions for legal sanctions regarding PSBB violations," said Arifin when contacted, Tuesday, May 12.

The enforcement of this sanction refers to DKI Governor Regulation Number 41 of 2020. Arifin said that the type of sanction that will be most often imposed on residents is social work by cleaning public facilities or paying administrative fines.

These two sanctions can be applied to offenders who do not wear masks when leaving the house, gather more than five people in public places, hold social and cultural activities, vehicle drivers who violate health protocols, and transport owners who violate passenger restrictions and operating hours during the PSBB.

When the sanctions take effect, violators of the PSBB rules are given two choices, whether they will clean public facilities or prefer to pay administrative fines of up to hundreds of thousands of rupiah.

When choosing to do social work cleaning public facilities, Satpol PP will provide cleaning equipment. Offenders are also asked to wear orange vests like the uniforms of prisoners in corruption cases when cleaning.

"So, if later there are residents who violate, then he will be dressed in an orange vest and read 'PSBB violators', then he will sweep the road, clean the park, clean public places," said Arifin.

However, if the offender does not want to do social work, they can simply pay an administrative fine. For violators who do not wear masks, they are fined Rp. 100,000 to Rp. 250 thousand.

Then, for the crowd of more than five people in a public place, they were fined Rp. 100,000 to Rp. 250 thousand, for the organizers of the socio-cultural activities which resulted in the crowd being fined Rp. 5 million to Rp. 10 million.

Furthermore, for car drivers who violate passenger restrictions as much as 50 percent are fined IDR 500 thousand to IDR IDR 1 million. Online motorcycle taxi (ojol) drivers who carry passengers are fined Rp. 250 thousand to Rp. 500 thousand. Owners of transportation of people and goods who violate the number of passengers and operating hours are fined Rp. 100,000 to Rp. 500 thousand.

"Sometimes, there are people who don't want to be asked to do social work. For example, there is a director, someone who feels they have money, is ordered to sweep cooking on the streets. Then he prefers administrative fines. Well, pay it," he said.
